To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELEANOR Bn'rrnns, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Park House, Ancaster Road, Ipswich, Suffolk,England, have invented new and useful Improvements inCombination-Garments for Women, of which the following is aspecification.

I

The object of my invention is to render such garments more hygienic orsanitary than heretofore, and to this end my said invention consists inthe application to the said apron or flap of a detachable shield orcover.

My invention will, be readily understood by reference to theaccompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an elevation; and

Fig. 2 is a similar View with the central front portion of the garmentcut away.

Or the buttons can be on the shield or cover and the buttonholes formed in the garment or in a band or strip to which the apron orflap is fixed if it is not woven in one with the garment. I

It will be understood that with this construction the cover can bechanged from time to time as required;
